‘The last thing Scotland needs’ is another independence referendum, says Findlay

ANOTHER independence referendum is “the last thing Scotland needs,” MSP Neil Findlay said today.

The Scottish Labour Brexit spokesman hit out as a new poll showed less than a quarter of voters would back a fresh vote in the wake of Britain leaving the EU.

The Ipsos Mori study found that that while 41 per cent back another independence vote before the next Scottish Parliament elections in 2021, only 22 per cent said Brexit should prompt a second ballot on leaving Britain.
